Pomegranate Seed Oil
What Is Pomegranate Seed Oil?
Pomegranate seed oil is extracted from the seeds of Punica granatum. Rich in bioactive compounds, this precious oil contains a uniquely high concentration of punicic acid (a rare omega-5 conjugated fatty acid), along with vitamins A, C, and E, polyphenols, and phytosterols.
Pomegranate seed oil is produced via cold pressing, solvent extraction, or supercritical CO₂ extraction. Cold pressing yields only 5–10% with residual moisture. Solvent extraction achieves higher yields but uses chemical solvents and prolonged heating at ~80°C, risking bioactive degradation. Supercritical CO₂ extraction delivers higher yield, superior purity, enhanced bioactive preservation, improved oxidative stability, and full sustainability — the cleanest, most efficient method for premium pomegranate seed oil.
